A 'health ATM' which can conduct a check-up for 23 diseases in just 15 minutes has been installed at the Mathura district hospital in Uttar Pradesh.
Doctors said that the health ATM can check the level of haemoglobin, blood sugar, blood pressure, the body temperature, obesity, oxygen saturation, body weight, body index among others. It can also conduct electrocardiogram (ECG).
Like ATMs, a slip mentioning the disease status of the patient will come out of the machine.
Chief Medical Superintendent (CMS) of the Mathura district hospital said that the machine will not only carry out core investigations but also pave the way for immediate treatment of patients. The machine will also save time taken to perform all the tests separately.
Such machines would be installed in every district hospital of Uttar Pradesh as well as at the block headquarters, officials said.
